Da-Lite: Selecting The Right Screen

Da-Lite > Educational Materials > Selecting The Right Screen

Da-Lite offers a wide array of screens each with a choice of projection surfaces. Selecting

the right combination to meet your needs is important for optimum results. The following

pages offer guidelines for selecting a screen that suits your application. Although these

recommendations will work in most situations, each must be looked at not as a strict rule,

but rather as a guideline for determining your actual needs based on your own situation.

For additional help in selecting screens, contact Da-Lite for the free publications

"Selecting Front Projection Screens for Today's Presentation Media Applications" or

"Selecting Rear Projection Screens for Today's Presentation Applications". Of course, your

Da-Lite Sales Partner is also happy to assist you.

Four Steps to the Right Screen

1. Pick the type screen that best suits your particular needs. For example, choose from

front projection or rear projection screens in either portable, wall or ceiling mounted

models in either manual or electric versions or rear projection. Generally, if your

projection application is permanent, then wall and ceiling screens are your best choice. If,

however, you find your needs require moving the screen to different locations, then a

portable screen is a better alternative.

2. Determine the optimum screen size based on room dimensions, planned audience

seating size and arrangement. The rule of thumb is to fit the screen to the audience - not

to the projector. Da-Lite recommends the following formula for determining screen size:

●Screen height should be approximately equal to 1/6 the distance from the screen

to the last row of seats, allowing text to be read and detail to be seen in the

projected image.

●The bottom of the screen should be a minimum of 4 feet above the audience floor,

allowing those seated toward the rear of the audience to see the screen. This may

require additional screen "drop" for ceiling hung screens.

3. Select the appropriate format for your projection application. Common formats are as

follows:

Common

Applications Aspect Ratio

Width/Height

NTSC Video 1.33

PAL Video 1.33

HDTV Video 1.78

Letterbox Video 1.85

Cinemascope 2.35

35 MM Filmstrip 1.32

2x2 Standard 35MM Double-Frame Slides 1.50

4. Choose the screen surface that best suits your projection and viewing requirements.

For your convenience, the front and rear projection pages provide descriptions and

performance characteristics for each front and rear screen surface. If the screen will be

used for multiple projection methods, choose the screen surface that meets the

requirements of the lesser performing projection method. For example, if using a slide

projector and a video projector, choose the screen surface for the video projector since its

light output is generally less than a slide projector.

SILVER LENTICULAR PICTURE SURFACES

Silver Lenticular surfaces are

sensitive to temperature

changes which may

temporarily cause slight

unevenness after a screen

has been rolled up for a

time. If uneven when first

opened for use, put on normal tension with the

tensioning device and allow it to stand at room

temperature of 70 to 75 degrees for five or ten

minutes. The surface will equalize itself and be

normally flat for projection in a very short time.

2. Pull out Red Locking Knob at top of bottom

tube.

3. Raise extension tube to first position, and

then swing case to horizontal position.

4. Raise screen surface and pull bail over

hanger. If Keystone Eliminator is to be used,

(1) simply grasp the knurled tip which

protrudes slightly above the hanger; (2) pull

straight up; (3) then lay in a horizontal

position over the hanger, and place the pull

bail on it.

5. Release Red Locking Knob and fabric

tension lock lever on handle.

6. Holding extension tube with one hand and

releasing Red Locking Knob with other, raise

extension tube to desired position.

7. The case position may be changed by

pulling out the Red Locking Knob located

on the handle.

8. For rectangular picture area on screens with

square surfaces, move case to desired

position and lock by pressing down on the

fabric tension lock lever.

9. On models with Super Wonder-Lite surface,

press down on handle until surface is taut.

Lock by pressing down on fabric tension

locking lever.

CLOSING THE SCREEN

1. Return screen case to original central

position on center tube. On models with

Super Wonder-Lite surface, first release

fabric tension lock lever on handle.

2. Hold extension tube firmly. Pull out top Red

Locking Knob and lower extension tube to

bottom position.

3. Unhook screen pull bail and complete re-

rolling fabric into case.

4. If Keystone Eliminator has been used,

simply raise it to a perpendicular position

and push it back into the extension tube.

5. Swing case to vertical position. Note that

fabric locks in.

6. Set tab on hanger in opening of case end

cap. As extension tube locks, the case

also is locked.

7. Place tip of middle finger of right hand in

depression beneath leg bracket. Lift leg

bracket sharply, at the same time applying a

slight lift to entire unit with left hand. Note

that legs are closed and locked, hanger, and

extension tube and case are locked and

surface is locked to provide for safe and

comfortable carrying and storing.

USING SCREEN IN LOWEST POSITION

Follow steps 1 through 3 above.

a. Raise locking lever on left side of handle.

b. Release red knob and lower case.

c. Holding bottom tube, raise extension tube

until it locks into desired position.

Before re-rolling surface into case, examine both

front and back of surface to be sure they are

free of foreign matter. A Da-Lite Screen case

cover is a wise and economical investment.
